Rage, Rage, go away.... you're still here

I've realized these past few days I've had two problems: I get angered easily and I'm starting to complain.

2 post before this, I wrote about how God is my control tower and I should just be happy about the things I'm going through. Well, it has been better with complaining, caught myself in small group complaining thanks to Alex Yi! I have been trying not to complain. Usually I don't really complain; I just listen and do things people asked me with no hesitation. Maybe a few "oh it's too hot" or "I'm so lazy and tired" (which I should stop as well and be happy). Hopefully, this complaining is put away and I do things joyfully because God has brought whatever obstacles or struggles into my life.

Anger, however, is becoming an issue that I cannot ignore. I don't remember when anger took over my thoughts; it was more irritated or frustrated than angry. But, I've been angry, I believe, twice because of certain situations that arose. I feel it's stupid situations too that I know my friends are joking with me about (least one of them are; hopefully the other is too). But, I just can say I have been agitated easily and my patience has been running thin. I don't know the reason why this anger has suddenly came up in my mind and heart, but I'm not liking it. Another thing I've noticed is that when I am angry, Pandora's box is opened. All these doors to sin starts opening up, and I'm more susceptible and tempted to take them.

If you are reading this, then I ask you for two things: please pray for me. Pray that my heart goes back to the love for others just as God loves me. Pray that I may have more patience when dealing with certain things. Also, keep me accountable with these struggles.
